Arca
Overview
Arca is an institutional investment firm specializing in digital assets and blockchain technology. The firm applies professional trading, venture investing, credit underwriting, and portfolio management to both digital and traditional assets. Arca's strategies include active trading of liquid crypto assets, credit investments in real-world and blockchain credit, venture capital in Web3 and early-stage companies, and the tokenization of real-world assets. The firm aims to bridge the gap between blockchain technology and established financial practices, providing comprehensive solutions for sophisticated investors. Arca's team comprises data scientists, engineers, investors, and risk managers who leverage advanced analytics and quantitative research to navigate the evolving digital asset ecosystem. The firm was founded in 2017 by former Goldman Sachs executive Matthew Goetz and former University of Chicago Endowment portfolio manager Ari Paul. In April 2025, BlockTower Capital merged with Arca, creating a comprehensive investment platform in the digital asset management space. The combined enterprise aims to address market inefficiencies and drive governance improvements across the industry, setting the stage for future growth in the digital asset ecosystem. The merger was finalized on April 30, 2025, and the combined entity now operates under the Arca brand.
